Marketing should be an essential part of every nonprofit’s strategic plan — and its budget.

The emotional connections you make by investing in marketing & communications can go far to achieving your goals as a nonprofit. They can boost donations, connect you to influential partners, and help reach the clients you want to serve. Above all, you can tell your story to a broader audience.
